This is indeed heartbeat of God and standard setting of every human’s existence.

He added that JDPMC was determined to continually play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the Government and the Citizens of the State.

The Manager of the Bank of Agriculture, Osogbo branch, Osun state, Mrs.Olukemi Olusesi disclosed this during a partnership meeting with Rural Development team of the Justice Development and Peace Makers’ Centre which was held in Oke-Ayepe, Osogbo.

Olusesi said the Micro-Credit Loan became necessary so as to communicate agricultural empowerment crusade to the community farmers at the grassroots, where seventy-five percent of the food productions were being largely produced. She also noted that, the effort would go a long way as it had the capacity to give local productions a strong push at the international market.

“There is a need to bring this knowledge of truth to the grass roots in order to help and build the rural community farmers’ capacity, given to the fact seventy-five percent of the farm produces emanate from them and by so doing we are giving economy of the nation a better push and face lift,

Our background check and record of the JDPMC really justified it, for this reason, Bank of Agriculture is pitching it tent with the JDPMC of all Non-governmental Organizations in the Osun State. We have done it together before and this is why we are doing again”.

Speaking, the General Coordinator of the JDPMC, Rev.Peter Akinkunmi represented by the Chief Finance Officer, Mr.Patrick Osunkolati assured the team of bank of Agriculture that management of the JDPMC would develop a framework to the effect and ensure that the identified opportunity is effectively and efficiently harnessed.

The Programme Manager of the Rural Development Programme of the JDPMC, Mrs.Onaolapo Morenike stated that RUDEP team in her usual manner would initiate monitoring mechanisms to see to the appropriation of the Micro-Credit Loan thereby avoiding misplacement of priority on the part of the programme and target beneficiaries.

Child’s Right: ” Wake up to your duties to your children, remember they are our future leaders”- JDPMC enjoins parents.

November 13, 2019/0 Comments/in Integrated Human Development/by JDPMC

A leading Faith-based Charity, Non-Governmental, Non-Political, and Not-for-profit Organization, established for the promotion of social development activities aimed at improving the standard of living of people and their quality of life, alleviating the suffering of the oppressed, the marginalized and the less privileged by influencing public policies and empowering people to be self-reliant in the Osun State also known as the Justice, Development and Peace Makers’ Centre of Osogbo (JDPMC) has vehemently warned parents across the state to learn to wake up to their various parental responsibilities and duties to their children so that they become good ambassadors of the country.

The Clarion Call was made during two days Child’s Right rally organized by the Department of Integrated Human Development/Child Care of the Organization which cut across Irepodun and Orolu Local Governments with the aim of bringing the understanding and knowledge of Child’s Right to the every community.

According to the Programme Supervisor, Mrs. Juliet Akande “We are here to sensitize the parents on the need to uphold and protect the Rights of their Wards and why they should take their education as a priority that must not suffer a shortchange, not to subject them to hard labour, corporal punishment on a minor offence of worth-verbal corrections. Most of all, giving them adequate attentions they deserve as stipulated by law. The level of school attrition here is alarming and for this reason; we are appealing to the parents and guardians to live up to their duties so as to raise proper children as future Leaders, for these kids are the tomorrow country’s glory,” She maintained.

Also speaking, the programme Officer, Mrs. Damilola Arowolo stated that the rally was part of action plans of the Integrated Human Development/Child Care under the Justice, Development and Peace Makers’ Centre to eliminate illiteracy and child’s right violations among the children thereby promoting equal opportunities for them in accordance with law of the land.

LEGISLATIVE DIALOGUE

“The success of any State budget formulation and implementation lie on the public participation of citizens with active mobilization and advocacy for accountability and transparency. People must be ready to be responsible, unite to form a common font towards better Governance. They must vote people of integrity into power, populate men of good character and dignity into political space and system. It is only in Nigeria that people are extremely religious but highly ungodly, full of activities without productivity, doing things in the same way but expecting different results. Culture of indifference must be dealt with. I have said this, time and again; there is need for cultural revival, if possible social re-engineering and orientation from the Governed. I appreciate JDPMC, for being a blessing to Osun State and for making meaningful impacts and positive imprints in the state. You are what I refer to as timely succour for this age. I call for more replicative Bodies at least twenty that will make the state stronger and engaging.”

Excerpt from Hon. Babatunde Lekan Olatunji, Chief Whip State of Osun Assembly during the Legislative Dialogue with the JDPMC’s Good Governance Committee Members across the 20LGAs in the State.
